Dennis Oppenheim: Accelerator for Evil Thoughts

Author: Alain Joyaux Description: Contemporary artist Dennis Oppenheim's Accelerator for Evil Thoughts, part of his Fireworks series, stands ready to create through explosion. His Machine Works series, despite its visual emphasis on technology, sees the construction of an object as a metaphor for the artist's exploration of creation and its reliance on implication uses the object as a metaphor for the creative process. This catalogue contains a comprehensive interview with the artist and a complete catalogue entry on the work itself.
